The lesson I had with Air Padre was the best I’ve ever had after taking many lessons in other locations. APK has done everything possible to create the perfect learning environment. Here are the advantages that I found:

1. Shallow water and no waves so that made it easy to launch and retrieve the board after a fall,

2. A boat so that Jeff could stay with me during some really long rides and it allowed my wife to ride along and take pictures and now she also wants to take lessons,

3. Radio helmet – wow what a change – I could actually hear the instructions and make corrections while I was riding! ,

4. Top notch equipment: wetsuit for warmth, the right sized kite that was correctly powered for the conditions, and a board that he has found is good for learning and it did wonders for my riding,

5. And best of all, a great attitude that it is a team effort and he wants you to improve and have fun. We are already planning our next trip to go back and take more lessons from Air Padre Kiteboarding.
